Triple-A Scranton (7-3 loss to Norfolk)
Greg Golson, CF & Jordan Parraz, RF: both 0 for 4 – Parraz whiffed twice
Doug Bernier, SS & Luis Nunez, 2B: both 0 for 2 – Bernier walked, struck out, and got picked off first

Adam Warren, RHP: 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1 HB, 6-4 GB/FB – 58 of 94 pitches were strikes (61.7%) … first clunker in a while, and this really isn’t that bad anyway
Andrew Brackman, RHP: 2 IP, 2 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 2 WP, 1 HB – 25 of 41 pitches were strikes (61%) … typical Brackman, but at least he hit 93

Double-A Trenton (8-6 win over Altoona)

Yadil Mujica, SS: 1 for 4, 1 E (throwing)
Steve Garrison, LHP: 5 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 2 BB, 3 K, 1 WP, 10-1 GB/FB – ugly night, but hooray for grounders

Josh Romanski, LHP: 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K, 2-1 GB/FB
Alan Horne, RHP: 0.1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K – so I guess he’s closing now … I wonder how quickly he warms up and if they can use him on back-to-back days
High-A Tampa was rained out. They’re going to play two tomorrow.
Low-A Charleston (5-1 loss to Augusta)
Jose Toussen, LF: 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K
Anderson Feliz, 2B: 1 for 3, 1 R

Short Season Staten Island (6-5 win over Abderdeen)
Mason Williams, CF: 0 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 E (fielding)

Wilton Rodriguez, RHP: 3 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 1 K, 1 WP, 7-0 GB/FB - turbosinker
Vidal Nuno, LHP: 5 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 K, 6-3 GB/FB – very nice

Claudio Custodio, SS: 3 for 4, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 3 SB, 1 HBP, 1 E (missed catch) – absolutely killing it
Ravel Santana, CF: 1 for 6, 1 R, 2 K, 1 SB – he left the game after striking out in the eighth, but I’m not sure way … he wasn’t ejected according to the box score
Dante Bichette Jr., 3B: 1 for 3, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 2 BB, 1 K – nine walks, five strikeouts in nine games
Yeicock Calderon, RF: 0 for 6, 3 K – sadface

Damian Taveras, DH: 2 for 4, 2 R, 2 BB, 2 K
Danny Lopez, LF-CF: 2 for 5, 3 R, 2 2B, 1 BB, 1 SB, 2 E (both fielding) – each of his last five hits have done for extra bases (four doubles and a homer)
Fu-Lin Kuo, 1B: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 2 BB, 2 K – he’s got some pop, would be nice to see him play everyday
Taylor Anderson, 2B: 2 for 5, 1 R, 2 2B, 3 RBI, 1 SB, 2 E (both fielding)

That’s what I like to see from Jesus!
Have all of Montero’s homers came from being a DH?
Just looked it up, that’s actually his first as a DH. The other six came as a catcher.
LOL fail confirmation bias from me.
So changing the guy’s name to “Dan” are we?
Dan Bichette Jr? When did that start?
Fools! It says Dante lol jk
Tommy John made 3 errors on one play back in 1987 against the Brewers.
that was my first game, i’ll never forget it..
At least Brackman had some velocity and missed some bats. If only he could improve his control.
Yeicock did not get up today.
He must have forgotten to take his Viagra.
too easy
I sure hope he makes it to the majors. I gotta hear Suzyn Waldman say
” John, you gotta love Yeicock.”
2IP, 1 BB, 5 K!!!, 2 WP, 1 HBP for Brackman? That’s so crazy it bears repeating.
He missed a lot if stuff today. The strikezone (1BB), bats (5K), and the catcher (2 WP). About the only thing he hit was that one batter.
He thinks he’s auditioning for the next Major League movie.
/Wild Thing Jr.
Spectacular title.
Way to be Jesus. Crush the ball and give them no choice but to call you up.
That is the way up. If he starts hitting like he did the second half of last year, he’ll be in the Bronx in no time. Jesus has his own future in his hands. Time for him to step up and take it.
but cervelli just had 3 hits.
As an unabashed (and generally unrealistic) Alan Horne fan, I’m still holding out hope for him to achieve some level of baseball success. If that’s as a reliever, so be it.
Absolutely. You gotta root for guys like Horne, Kontos and Christian Garcia to at least get a cup of coffee in the bigs.
I wonder where Tyler Austin is thou. Guy is killing the ball. Let that guy hit!
If Brandon Binder can make it to the big leagues than Joe Girardi will be the happiest man alive.
Heh, would be nice if that’s his name, but I think it’s Brandon Pinder.
have there been any updates on Norton? will he ever pitch again?
Gary Sanchez’s defense has been soooooo bad this year.
Also, Claudio Custodio is awesome, he’s moving up fast in my book
yeiiiiiicock
0-6 with 3 K’s?
Is that what we’re reduced to now? How many hard-hit balls from Montero? : -)
Brackman is a bust. include him in any trade the yankees make
I guess you never heard of “sell high and buy low”. Right now Brackman has little value so you hold on to him and try to fix him.
Honestly, I just don’t think he should draw a MLB salary. Trade him or release him. Guy’s not a bust as much as he’s never been close to qualified to have been anything.
BUT HE’S TALL
Time to start calling Brackman a bust unironically?
That title ought to be bronzed. A classic!
Patience. He was a BA top 100 player. His mechanics are screwy. May take a couple of years. Play out the string.
